Political movements in Carboneras are now common. The city appears on a new page of the history of pacts and motions of censure at the municipal level of the province of Almería. This municipality, known for the legal imbroglio of the illegal El Algarrobico hotel, has had its third government team of this mandate since Tuesday.
The current mayor, Salvador Hernández, became mayor as a candidate for Ciudadanos (Cs) after presenting a motion of no confidence in March 2024 with the support of the PSOE. The former mayor, Felipe Cayuela, of the Popular Party (PP), was left behind after an intense exchange of accusations that occurred during just eight months of government after the 2023 elections.
Five months after the political maneuver, Hernández decides to separate the socialists to “serious violations” of the pact that they had achieved. Thus, since August of this year, the city has suffered from a situation of ungovernability which is resolved with a new pact between Cs and PP.
The mayor, Salvador Hernández, explained that “we have a team ready to take on the challenges of Carboneras and take advantage of the opportunities that await us.” In the new Carboneras government team PP advisors join who were excluded after the motion of censure, with the exception of their candidate, former councilor Cayuela.
“Mayor Salvador Hernández has appointed the five PP councilors, the same ones he dismissed by a motion of censure on March 15, as members of his new government team. This situation is not only surprising, but also confirms what I have been saying from the beginning: the motion of censure There was never any question of governing with the PSOEbut to force my resignation as councilor and then agree with the PP”, Cayuela published on his social networks.
Five days ago, the PP Carboneras denounced the situation of ungovernability that exists within the city’s City Hall following the movements led by the PSOE which provoke the “total paralysis” of the consistorywith the resulting damage to all neighbors. The popular carboneros highlighted the rest of the political formations and above all “that they are part of the Fernández clan, they already know very well what complaints, complaints, change political parties and put the municipality at the horse’s feet with “the only one in the goal of continuing to stay in power. »
Through this declaration, the Popular Party reflected part of the political mess from which Carboneras suffered for decades, pointing to pacts with minority groups by socialists and “condemnations of vote buying.” Faced with this situation, the PP advisors announced the possible agreement with the current government team because “unfortunately, it is not possible to call elections for the people to decide, nor to propose a motion of censure again “, they concluded.
